OOTN: Dark Paradise

Posted by at 3:42 AM
It's funny how things work out, yesterday my Trend Report goes up and today my Asos order arrives. Full of nothing but pastels! Now usually I find with anything I order from Asos I adore it and love it. But I was really disappointed in this order from Asos Curve. Two of the items are already packed up to go back, one was due to being a very small cut and the other was really bad quality...but that's just the way it goes sometimes, can't win em all! But... enough of the negative, lets move on the the positive!


Lilac Pastel Dress (US22) - Asos Curve
Navy Blue Necklace - Colette
Navy Blue Ribbon Belt - Spotlight
Black Peeptoe Shoes (11) - Emerson for Big W.





Now to be honest with you, I might have had this dress on back to front with out noticing, But I don't think it really matters, because the lace difference between the front and the back isn't as dramatic as the photos on Asos.com lead me to believe - but that is just my opinion. Wear it how ever you like it best, but don't they say it's lucky to put stuff on back to front... or is that inside out? 






Now if you order this dress, and please do, don't be scared when you open your parcel.... like I was. It is a really, REALLY and BRIGHT pastel lavender. And its A LOT of pastel, even for a girl like me, who wears a lot of brights and colours! But as soon as I pulled out this new navy blue ribbon I just knew I was heading in the right direction, I then added this cute navy necklace that you saw in this post here. One of the best under $10 finds ever! The dark colour really helps give depth to this dishy lilac shade and the bow belt also makes it extra girlie! 


The reason I love bow belts so much is because your not limited by being a certain size. Just go in and buy the length you need, I have 1.5 meters here and at $3.99 a metre, it's a pretty cheap belt, especially when it looks so lush. So just jot that down in your beauty notebook! 







Ahh... I cannot tell you how fabulous it feels to have my hair cut all bobby like again! I missed it so much! My hair stylist Paul really has out done himself this time and I'm just in love with my hair right now! If any of you are in the Blue Mountains please go and see him and the rest of the team at Euphoria Hair in Leura, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! Paul is a Fashion Week Hair Veteran, he's just amazing, I adore him to bits (if you can't tell) and he will do wonders for your crowning glory!!  Contact Euphoria on (02) 4784 3801, do it! Right now!

Stay Beautiful!

Until Next Time xox <3


UPDATE: I've had a few people ask me what the sizing and quality is like for this Asos Dress. The sizing is bang on perfect. And the quality is one of the nicest I have had from Asos in little while. The fabric is a really soft, slightly sheer chiffon! And it has an underskirt that has a soft stretch to it. 


Another question I've had is how dress do I think it is?! Well if I'm honest It's dressy enough for Tea with Her Majesty The Queen. Or at the very least Catherine Middleton!

  1. Love you in this! The pastel trend is so hot, but I had no idea how to wear it-the navy pairing makes it seem so much more do-able. You always have the best tips!

  2. That colour looks lovely on you, I would never have thought to pair lavender with navy but it works so well!

    I would also like to know about the disappointments you had from Asos Curve- always helpful when considering buying stuff from there. xx

    1. My disappointments where the pretty gingham skirt - which was just a horrible fabric, that feel like a plastic table cloth. And the other piece was the lace corset top, which was not at all true to size. xx :)

  12. Hey lovely

    I was thinking about getting this dress in navy to wear to a wedding. Is the fabric dressy enough do you think?

    Whats the sizing like? Usual?

  13. Hi Lovely

    Not sure my previous comment worked. Is this quite a dressy dress? Was thinking about getting it in navy to wear to a wedding

    How do you find the sizing? Is it roomy/have a bit of stretch?
